ABSTRACT:
An improved coupling method and device for an ocular prosthesis to a porous polyethylene implant is provided. According to the invention, a small surgical screws having a domed head is inserted into a porous plastic implant after the implant has been implanted into an enucleated orbit allowed to vascularize. The domed head projects from the anterior surface of the implant which is covered by conjunctive tissue and is received by a complementary cavity on the rear surface of the ocular prosthesis.
